David Hill @ Papamoa Plaza

With new building consents on the rise, expansion at Papamoa Plaza and a whole raft of events underway for the coming months, Papamoa is making all the right moves for the community.

A caring community encompasses all sections of the residents, including the vulnerable.

In association with the Papamoa Support Centre and the national 'It's OK to ask for help” campaign Papamoa is hosting the first high profile family fun day to highlight the caring nature of the Papamoa Community.

Held this year at Papamoa Plaza, behind McDonalds, the community will gather to recognise the support that is available for those most vulnerable members of our community.

In particular, those that have been subjected to any form of domestic violence – the support is available now to assist those in need.

Champions are everywhere in the community – having the courage to ask for help will start the change. See you there.

Papamoa Progressive Association is hosting Mayor Stuart Crosby at the next meeting on Monday, March 9.

This meeting will include an AGM and a chance to ask the Mayor and current Councillors, including our new Ward Councillor Leanne Brown, the questions you have been holding on to – waiting for the right opportunity.

Entry is free (as always) and is held at 7.30pm Monday 9 March at Gordon Spratt Reserve Sports and Recreation Centre. Come along for an entertaining insight in to the running of our local Council.

Progress, engagement and caring for the locals – this is why we love being here.
